The children are back at school, the nights are drawing in, some people keep mentioning Christmas. It can only mean one thing: it must be September! I’m a winter baby and I love autumn so I’m not too down-hearted. The other reason I’m looking forward to pulling the curtains shut\u00a0and switching on\u00a0the fire (I’m going to miss my wood burner so much) is Strictly’s back!<\/p>\n

The new line up was revealed last month and I was excited to see a) I actually recognized a few of them and b) two of my favourite people are taking part this year. I love the Reverend Richard Coles on Saturday morning on Radio 4 and Susan Calman is a clever and very funny comedian.<\/p>\n

My forecast:<\/p>\n

First to go out<\/strong>: Simon Rimmer or possibly Aston Merrygold. Not sure how good Simon’s going to be (I predict a bit of dad dancing) and not sure if the JLS and SCD fans overlap.<\/p>\n

Tipped to do well<\/strong>: Joe McFadden. He looked pretty good on the intro video.<\/p>\n

Biggest surprise<\/strong>: Debbie McGee. Has a background in ballet so might do well.<\/p>\n

Pasha’s Partner<\/strong>: I’d like to see him with Alexandra Burke although she might be too tall.<\/p>\n

Comic turn<\/strong>: it’s going to be between my faves Richard Cole and Susan Calman. I’m looking forward to the latter’s witty come-backs to criticism from the judges.<\/p>\n

Who will be affected by the Strictly Curse?<\/strong>: who knows but it’s always fun to guess!<\/p>\n

Winner<\/strong>: Mollie King. Or maybe Alexandra Burke. Or maybe paralympian Jonnie Peacock. No idea. That’s the fun of it all.<\/p>\n

Not sure why I bother with any predictions, I’m always wrong! The launch show is Saturday 9th and you can get a flavour of what’s to come here:<\/p>\n

Bring it on! Keeeeeeeep dancing!<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n

Georgia x<\/p>\n

Oh, and don’t forget, to fill in the gap between the launch show and the\u00a0new series beginning, \u00a0you can get a bit of Strictly-inspired reading here:<\/p>\n
